This research aims to extrapolate the peculiarities of Arabic books that were published on the subject of the Moorish-Andalusians during the past twenty-five years. As for the articles in Arabic, we have confined them within the framework of the general bibliography that we have prepared on the Moorish Andalusian studies in the world, which limited those studies. Regarding the importance of the research, our opinion has always been that the Moriscos have no less right in their Spanish homeland than their Christian compatriots, and therefore we interpret what happened in the sixteenth century as a civil war between the sons of one nation. It is a source of joy to see that Spanish thinkers speak the same language and acknowledge the right of the Spanish Muslim to his homeland and admit that the expulsion of the Moriscos was an act contrary to justice, and that the Spanish politicians at the time were right when they decided that the Spanish homeland should have one faith, which is Catholicism, and they expelled the Muslims. As for the objectives of the research, knowing the extent of the interest of Arab researchers in highlighting the Moorish issue and the great restrictions that the Muslims were subjected to in Granada by Queen Isabella, who was described as religious strictness and issued her harsh orders towards the Moors, and knowing the freedom of belief among the Andalusian Moors and how they preserved their language and religious heritage. As the research methodology was characterized by the historical inductive approach in presenting data, facts and historical events that occurred in Morocco and Andalusia, and then analyzing, interpreting and criticizing them in a manner with an analytical approach characterized by objectivity and impartiality, the descriptive analytical approach was also followed in this study. One of the most important findings of the researcher was that the subject of the victorious Moorish Muslims in Valencia was one of the important historical topics that did not receive the attention of researchers for various reasons, perhaps the most important of which is the lack of historical sources available to the researcher, especially as we know that Arab Islamic sources have avoided delving into such topics because of their position The negative from the Muslims who preferred staying in the land of unbelief over returning to the land of Islam.
